The live screening of King Henry IX’s Coronation, which took place at the White Elephant Enclosure on Saturday, was declared a ‘huge success’ by Smalltown and Dullbridge (SaD) Town Council.
“We had around 60 people attend the event and take advantage of a FREE cream tea. Or rather, about 35 people and SaD Headmistress, Mayor and Dictator Cllr Kelsey Dullard turned up. Mayor Dullard consumed 25 cups of tea and 25 scones with jam and cream, so we are counting that as 60 people.
We had hoped to decorate the WEE with the yards of bunting prepared by residents, but as you know, no one made any so we had to improvise.
We purchased several metres of single-use plastic bunting, which is contrary to our Climate Rescue Action Plan (CRAP) but couldn’t be helped, and this was hung around the walls to give the WEE a welcoming feel.
Dictator Dullard, together with Deputy Dictators Sherry and Knickers also made their own bunting, which we were able to use to decorate the outside of the building.”
Before the screening, Dictator Dullard thanked herself and Deputy Dictators Sherry and Knickers for their hard work and then delivered a lecture to the audience on the subject of ‘The King and I’.
